According to US media reports, on the 11th, the number of hospitalized cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States once again reached a new high since the outbreak, and the medical system is facing tremendous pressure.

According to CNN, according to data from the US New Coronavirus Tracking Project, the United States reported 108044 hospitalized cases of new coronary pneumonia on the 11th, reaching a new high. This is also the 10th consecutive day that the United States has more than 100,000 hospitalized cases of new coronary pneumonia.

On the 11th, the Public Health Department of Los Angeles County, California reported 13,815 new cases, which reached a new high for the second day in a row. At present, the cumulative number of cases in this county alone has exceeded 500,000. Barbara Ferrell, a public health official in Los Angeles County, warned that the county’s “unprecedented” number of new cases is putting tremendous pressure on the health system.

Barbara Ferrell, Los Angeles County Public Health Officer:We have an average of about 10,200 new cases every day this week. If the number of hospitalized cases continues to increase at the current rate, we may see more than 7,300 patients hospitalized with new coronary pneumonia within two weeks. More than 1,600 of them may need to be treated in the intensive care unit. This worries all of us, because our county’s hospitals have only about 2,100 adult beds in the intensive care unit, and many of these beds are useful for trauma, heart surgery and cancer treatment. It is also essential for patients with other diseases.

Ferrer called on people to stay at home as much as possible, and said that if the epidemic situation is not reversed, the epidemic may be catastrophic.

Barbara Ferrell, Los Angeles County Public Health Officer:If there is a surge in cases related to winter holidays after this, the number of hospitalized cases and the number of patients in the intensive care unit will be catastrophic.
